Same here. I remember BOA being sold out within days!

A far as I know, this chain of stores doesn't do phone orders.

Thank you so much for the information!

I have as well (8 in 5 different states), and I found it at one of the Myrtle Beach, SC CCOs last October. Between those 2 locations last year, they had basically every product in the LE packaging from that line, except for the mirror, My Dark Magic MES, and Resort Life lipgelee (which I found in another state, also last year). Those CCOs are where a lot of my collection came from.

I was very excited... that was the product I wanted more than anything but had missed out on. Wish I had bought two of them, though.

When I went back this year, it was gone, but the beauty powders, 5 of the glosses, the MCLPs, some of the lipsticks, regular eyeshadows, etc. were still numerous.

I only got three lippies, both mineralize duos (god knows why, as I don't care for mineralize E/S one bit) and a nail polish from the VV collection. That was back when I didn't know how awesome beauty powders were. I now have serious skipper's remorse for BR. If only we had CCOs here in NL...

*sigh*

I've seen the mirror in almost every CCO, but they are usually behind the glass cabinets. Make sure to check there as well if you are after one. :-)

They had Briar Rose at my CCO, it is the one in Castlerock, CO.  I could call for you and see if they ship?  Not sure when I will head down that way again, but if want one, I can make an attempt.  They also have the deep purple lipgloss (which I was tempted to buy, but skipped--I am on a gloss no buy!)

You know, I bought BR, then sold it because I didn't think it worked on me.  But now I'm ready to give it a second shot.  I'm gonna hit up the Las Vegas CCO around Thanksgiving, so maybe I'll see what I can find.  V V was one of my favorite collections, and I lucked out finding Style Black stuff there last year.

I hope to someday own My Dark Magic & She Who Dares  M/E Duos

I checked ebay and  My Dark Magic is going for like $90

Thank you for the offer, I really appreciate it. But do CCOs ship overseas? I certainly wouldn't mind paying for shipping as long as they don't charge insane amounts for that :)

re: Deep purple L/G - Was that Revenge Is Sweet? I didn't pay much attention to the glosses at the time but I remember there being some interesting shades. The only one I seriously considered was Wrong Spell but my dark lips quota was already filled by Dark Deed L/S.

I think Wrong Spell is the gloss they have.  If the CCO doesn't ship overseas, maybe they could ship to me and I could ship to you?  They also have other BP, the stupid mirror, and several of the eyeshadows if anyone is interested.  I can call them tomorrow and see if they ship...

Oh yes, please! That would be amazing!

What other BPs do they have? (pass me the smelling salts if it's Too Chic)

And the mirror was cute! I wouldn't mind having one... or two... There can be never enough mirrors! Did you see the Cinderella one in Sephora?

You know, there are a LOT of sparkly purple shadows out there.  You should still be able to get Young Punk from MAC which I think would be an acceptable substitute.

Young Punk can be a substitute for My Dark Magic and Smutty Green along with Blue Flame can be substitutes for She Who Dares.

THANK YOU ladies, I just googled these and they look A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Adding these to my growing MAC wish-list. If I do the math I can get both of these for the price of just ONE m/e from the VV collection.

My CCO had quite a few of them in stock late last year/early this year. Despite my Disney fandom, I could not bring myself to buy that thing. If it had been a Jafar compact (or one of the 3 ladies featured in VV), I would have bought it in a heartbeat. But Facilier is not a fave of mine, and his facial expression was too hideous for me to want to use the mirror in public, LOL!

I got the Designer Villains compact from the Disney Store recently instead, plus the LE Cinderella clock compact from Sephora. Already had the Designer Princess Snow White compact from the DS last year. Love them all.

Hehe. That's precisely the reason I like the mirror. So hideous it's almost endearing! 

If anyone spots one of these babies in their CCO please remember that there is someone here who would be happy to give it* a home. A very loving one, if I may say so myself 

* and Briar Rose... and Too Chic... and Narcissus.... ad infinitum....

But I agree wholeheartedly about the Cinderella compact. The thing's a work of art! . 

I think I'm finally ready to let my Toxic Tale go. I've just tried it on like twice and I'm probably never going to wear it. I guess I'll have to start a sale thread, I've never shipped international though and never send a Paypal invoice, so I have to figure that out first.

Awww. Sorry to hear that. Is it the shade or the texture of the lippie?

Really????

I am very sorry that it does not work for you

It's the shade. I don't like it on me at all. I don't usually go for colors like that, so I don't even know what I was thinking when I got it back then. It's a beautiful color, I just don't feel comfortable wearing shades like that. I know a lot of people missed out on it, so I'd rather sell it to someone who will actually wear it, instead of having it in my stash forever without getting any love.

this is so true!  I got My Dark Magic because I missed out on Young Punk.    Young Punk is available now, so its a great substitute!
